shawnee trail is to the east, but almost immediately by the 1850's, here illinois had quarantine against texas cattle, then missouri, that missouri is cattlef from texas because of texas fever. they carried a tick that would killed investigated cattle. but they could enter the state on rail car. that is why the central pacific is out there because eastern kansas county also instituted 14. so texas cattle on the were not welcome into the part of the country we recognize. so count has moved west. abilene for a while, then dodgerth, wichita, then city. you can see the great cattle trails. one of the things you need to remember is the cattle trails went right through command through comancheria. andas dominated by fear trade. so what to do do? you signed a treaty with these comanches that did not understand. you tell them they have to give to this. this and move we all know nobody wants to go to oklahoma on purpose, right?

so the shawnee trail is there to the east but almost immediately by the 1850s here illinois has quarantines against texas cattle, then missouri does, and eventually by 1860 missouri is shut off for texas cattle on the hoof because of texas fever. they carried a tick that would kill domesticated cattle, however they could enter the state on rail cars. this is why the central pacific goes out here because eastern kansas counties also instituted quarantines. so texas cattle on the hoof were not welcomed into the part of the country that we normally reckon. and so the cow towns moved west, abilene was a cow town for about a year and a half, then it went to ellsworth, wichita, caldwell is here and then dodge city is about right there. so you can see the great cattle fields. but one of the things we need to remember is the cattle trails went right through comancheria which is a territory covered by comanches from the rocky mountains to the mississippi valley by fear and trade so what do you do? you strike a treaty with these comanches who didn't understand the treaty in the 1867 at medicine lodge
